A hairy challenge

Jeff is a pretty hairless guy.  We have always joked that I have more chest and upper lip hair than he does (I just joke with tears in my eyes).  Because he is so hairless, he's never tried to grow any type of facial hair.  Which is generally fine with me, because I don't prefer it anyhow.  BUT.  He can grow hair!  Out of his face!  I thought he should try to see what a beard would be like at least once in his life.  Right?  So I challenged him to grow a beard over his long Christmas holiday.  And then his boss coincidentally gave him the same challenge.  And he listens to his boss.  So...

Phase I:

Here's the beard.  After 3 weeks.  No trimming.  That's it.  I think he looked the best when bundled up in his wool dress coat with a scarf.  Very professor-ish and Sean Connery-ish.  His co-workers reaction was mixed.  Then men liked, the women didn't.  Jeff's hair is very gray on the sides of his face, but not on his chin or upper lip.  Weird.  I didn't get a picture of that, however.  Just this shot before he shaved it into Phase II.

Phase II:

The goatee.  This was the most popular at work...and I guess with me as well.  He managed to get rid of all the gray, and look relatively trimmed and civilized.  He thought it was a lot of work to keep maintained.

Phase III:

Ugh.  The mustache.  Ugh.  Isn't he just...creepy?  Like a 70s porn star or a child molester or some postal employee that is about one step away from SNAPPING?  This made the women shudder at his work and then men shake their heads.  It only lasted a day.  Thank the Lord.

Now he is back to my clean shaved Jeff.  It was a fun experiment...but I'm glad to have him back!
